Find file older than n days with full absolute path

This command will find the files log, out and txt file as in this example which is older than n days which is defined in parameter -mtime and print the absolute path of the files found.

find `pwd` -maxdepth 1 -mtime +n -type f \( -name "*.log*" -o -name "*.out*" -o -name "*.txt" \)

Examples:

Find and print absolute path of the files which are 7 days or 30 days old

find `pwd` -maxdepth 1 -mtime +7 -type f \( -name "*.log*" -o -name "*.out*" -o -name "*.txt" \)

find `pwd` -maxdepth 1 -mtime +30 -type f \( -name "*.log*" -o -name "*.out*" -o -name "*.txt" \)

We can play with -mtime parameter to get other desired result
